HTH
* More of an insult towards Aboriginal people
** PF members that have been on the site longer than 1 week

That PF thread has had roughly 200,000ish views in little less than a week.
I don't think he needs to worry about forwarding an email around, and it's best he keeps all his ammo in his pocket before the court appearence in Jan.
The link to their thread is already doing the email rounds so he doesn't have to worry about people not knowing how much Wayne Besanko is a *milkshake*.
Just google search: 'Wayne Besanko' and you'll see how many forums are talking about it.

It's not that i don't want to do anything, i'm kinda scared because i don't want to do something i hate.
my post may of sounded a little emo but i'm living a very happy life at the moment, love my family and friends and don't have any big issues in my life. Just a little confused right now as to what i want to do.
Worst case senario if you don't do an apprenticeship: You do something else, may or may not love it, and wonder 'what if I had done that apprenticeship' in about 10 years time when / if you're looking for a career change. Then you're back to where you are now.
Worst case senario you do take an apprenticeship: You surprise yourself and you love it, or you don't enjoy it and therefore you don't finish it, you go do something else you may or may not love and in 10 years time when / if you're looking for a career change, you know that you don't want to get into "whatever' cause you tried an apprenticeship and it wasn't for you so you look elsewhere.

Spending 4 years of your 80+ year life span getting a trade isn't a waste of time, even if you don't like it.
If you learn something new every day, try something new, laugh, smile, make someone else feel happy... you're not wasting your life.
Living in the NOW is where it is at. If you appreciate what you have NOW and love what you have NOW then making decisions for the future is going to be much easier. Your reality right NOW is the residual outcome of your past decisions and actions. If you don't like your current reality, then make a new decision and take a risk, but don't sit there thinking "I hate this and I am wasting myself in that" because all you're doing is creating a future that is exactly like your present.
Hopefully that makes sense.
